stuart: it was closed because of hurricane sandy? >> there was 15,000 gallons of water in the basement. it was closed. close to a million people a year get their care there in some way shape or form. inpatient or outpatient. they had no access to care. they had no emergency services. they had nowhere to deliver their babies. no one thought our medical center could reopen in just less than two short months. stuart: but you did it yourself, i mean the people who worked there, did it. >> absolutely. stuart: did they get a big subsidy from the government? did they get fema help? >> they got help but didn't get anything sufficient with what they needed to reopen the medical center. the dean told me, dr. grossman, that the key was the spirit, the teamwork. it was courage. it was people saying i need a place to work. i need to be able to see my patients again. that's the kind of entrepreneurial spirit we talk about on this program all the time. that's what got the medical center reopened way in advance of what people thought. you saw it on
